My ears touch the inside of the cup! Ordinarily, this is not an issue with on-ear headsets or noise-cancelling headphones, but the ear cups in the Logitech G733 Lightspeed feature a texture on the inside that is, simply put, uncomfortable. While the head strap ensures a comfortable rest and the earpads are nice and soft, the ear cups seem to be extremely shallow. While I have never experienced any issues wearing Logitech headsets before, the G733 Lightspeed seems to be so different that even its ear cups are unusually designed. Where the headset is not comfortable in the slightest is in the depth of its earcups. There are two tightness options, but the head strap is both solid yet stretchy enough to fit most heads comfortably regardless of which level it is installed on. The head strap can be removed and replaced with others and can be attached to either side of the headband’s belly. The head strap is made out of a stretchy material, while the earpads consist of dual-layer memory foam covered in velour. At just 278 g, it is surprising how sturdy the headset still feels and how solid it is to the touch given how it consists almost entirely of hard plastic. The G733 Lightspeed is also exceptionally light and comfortable when worn. The diffuse effect also allows for the colours to blend beautifully as it passes through various shades and gradients. The light bar is extremely easy on the eyes as well – it looks great and produces a diffused effect that is less harsh than the old-school RGB featured on the Logitech G935 and its smaller siblings. They pair nicely with the default Colour Wave RGB profile the light bars emit. The head strap features a “glitch” design, with each unit featuring contrasting colours on their respective straps. All colours have unique head straps for extra comfort and sizing, as well as one RGB light bar on each earcup. The single-most prevailing feature, and arguably its selling point, is the diverse collection of colours the Logitech G733 Lightspeed comes in namely Blue, Lilac, White and Black (unit we received for review). It is a brand-new peripheral meant to fill a whole new type of gaming need, but has such a peculiar feature set that there is no conclusive way of determining the niche it has been designed for. The Logitech G733 Lightspeed, however, is an anomaly – it has no clear-cut rank, and does not replace any of the current offerings. From the entry-level and budget-friendly G332 and G Pro, all the way up to the G935 and G Pro X, every headset fills a certain niche. With that said, it is easy to understand where all of these headsets fit into the roster. In terms of Logitech G headsets like the G332, G432, and G935, they often have much louder bark than bite. The Logitech G433 (now replaced by the sub-par G Pro), and the G Pro X are phenomenal headsets. Well-built, robust, and great performing headsets have infallibly been Logitech G’s forte. Every so often, Logitech releases a product that just does not cut it. It is not all sunshine and rainbows, however. The now-discontinued Logitech G433 has been my daily driver for the better part of two years, and the Logitech G Pro X has proven time and again that Logitech G can compete with the best - I would even go so far as to say it stands up to what similarly priced audiophile headphones have to offer. This is a beautiful balance Logitech G mostly gets right. Even more so when headsets and headphones are able to look pleasant and sound great at the same time. I am a firm believer of function over form.
